The Chicago Art Department is located in the South Loop a
couple of blocks from the Roosevelt & Wabash intersection.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
The Chicago Art Department is located a few blocks from the
loop. Our neighborhood has and is still undergoing major changes.
Within our three years at this location, condos have popped
up everywhere. Within a two block radius there is now a Jewel
Osco, BP Gas station, a great Italian Restaurant, an upscale
Chinese restaurant and Sushi place.

We are within a short walk to the lake, as well as the Museum
Campus and Solider Field.

The Chicago Art Department is also central to major art communities.
To the north we have the academic art communities of Columbia
College and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Just
to the south is the vibrant Pilsen art community. Just to
the west is the gallery district in the West Loop.

The school is accessible by public transportation. The Green,
Orange and Red Line stops at Roosevelt Ave.

lake and take a right on Wabash Ave. We are located in the

PARKING
Parking can be difficult in our neighborhood, and as the neighborhood
continues to develop, it looks like its going to get worse.
There are public lots that are relatively inexpensive ($5-$10).
During Bears home games you must have a special bears sticker
on your car or it will be towed.
